The last time I even remember seeing Nick ~ save for Brooke’s recent dream ~ was when Katie & Brooke asked him to let Donna live with him (that detail may be incorrect, but they were involved in Donna moving in with Nick, on his boat). I hate that I missed his entire run, because Jack Wagner has more charm in his pinky than TK as Ridge has in his whole body. TK may have been great at other characters, but he’s taken all of the charm out of Ridge.

More sad news, Nat has passed away as well. https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/joe-e-tata-dead-beverly-hills-90210s-nat-dies-at-85/

I’ve been a faithful, daily watcher, since summer, 2011, AKA, the summer TOD II started. If you, on this board, hadn’t mentioned Jack, I wouldn’t know he existed. To my knowledge, he’s never been mentioned, in my 12 years.

This whole Douglas thing is ridiculous. Hope legally adopted him, she is his mother. This suggestion that she was a glorified babysitter, while Thomas got his shit together, & now that he’s better, according to his world-renowned psychologist mother, she’s relieved of her duties, is a huge slap in the face to all adoptive parents. Thomas doesn’t legally get to just walk in & tell Hope that he’s taking Douglas back. They should have 50/50 custody, & that should be the end of that. We need a non-Carter lawyer on this show. Having said that, Liam & Steffy should also have 50/50 custody of Kelly. I wonder what the Steffy/Ridge/Thomas/Taylor quad would think about that? Kids should have their dad, too. Taylor might actually relish it, because she & Ridge would have another reason to bond. In fairness, Ridge seems much happier around her, so drop Destiny & move on. I love drama, but I laughed at Brooke’s “our family is under attack from Steffy & Taylor!” All I could think of was Ross Geller’s keyboard, playing those missile zings, & him ducking for cover. She’s not exactly wrong, but, geez, all of this is over a man most of us wouldn’t take to the curb on trash day, TM Nell Carter in a righteous quote from Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper, that I’ve never forgotten, & drop into conversations when appropriate. ** Clearly, I watch far too much tv. Can’t remember why I walked into a room half-of-the-time, but I remember a ‘90s quote from Nell Carter! **

Maybe North’s siblings: Not North Boy #1, Not North Girl, & Not North Boy #2, dodged a bullet by not having their parents remember that they exist. Kim’s kids are basically “North & her siblings”. Both she & Kanye clearly, clearly favor North. The other kids are going to grow up hating her for being the center of the universe.

When Taylor was jabbing at Brooke yesterday, neither of them brought up Jack. I wasn’t watching then, but aren’t both Brooke & Taylor sort of both his mother?? Brooke, biologically, Taylor, legally? Whatever. Deacon…I really like him, & I love that he’s so middle-aged dirty hot, but dumb is not hot, so he’s about to lose me. The show was pretty good for a while, now, we’re back to raw suckage.

Rena Sofer, AKA Quinn, is leaving. Her last filming date was this past Friday. Quinn was bad a lot, but I always watch when she’s on-screen. https://michaelfairmantv.com/rena-sofer-wraps-her-9-year-run-as-quinn-and-exits-bb/2022/08/17/?fbclid=IwAR3F9pa0jNz-d54RViuKBQsIgVN5yyD_jtaJCoOaHjIUHoWfQLajaopa5bI

Added to spoiler page.

I spied with my little eye…Sheila in the newly-updated opening credits. Yeah, she ain’t dead. SK notches up every scene he’s in. He was so good reacting to first Thomas’ sudden want of Douglas, then subdued about not-dead Sheila. Looks like we may get our BillLi wish. Definite screen-test today, which they passed, & she softened him up, when she mentioned him being cutthroat, but kind, too. They sure are pretty. Damn, Steffy, your family was just reunited, & you barely catch your breath, before you’re shoving your dad outta Brooke’s clutches, down your mother’s throat. Am I weird? As far as my parents know (I’m in my 40s, with elementary-aged kids), the stork brought our kids. Why do parents & kids on this show know about each other’s sex lives??

That was the longest toe I’ve ever seen. It looked like a pinky finger. Team Brooke: there’s no way Sheila is really dead.

JMW is at her best when Steffy is a raging bitch. Not saying I like her, but that’s where she excels. However, it appears that she’s met her match in Li. She gave it right back to her, it was a beauty to see. Li is looking extra fantastic in under 24 (or close to about 24 hours) hours after finding Finn. Dare I hope that $Bill put a little pep in her step?

Taylor’s thought bubble…”Hmmmm, Hope posted a pic of Deacon in the vicinity of Brooke. I can definitely use this to my advantage. I’ll coyly let Ridge see it, then I’ll put on my vampiest fanny pack, & take him for a walk, in this beautiful locale.” Of course, it worked. I’m sure Brooke being in the room with Deacon is worse than Ridge tonguing Taylor. She lost the fanny pack prior to the kiss, though.

Finn & Bill shook hands as Bill was leaving. Taylor, who shot Bill didn’t acknowledge him, but she was busy pawing her son-in-law. When Bill announced that he was leaving (without seeing his granddaughter, who’s been out-of-the-country for weeks), Ridge touched his side/stomach & said “Bill, I owe you.” Bill started to be a smartass, then stopped mid-sentence & said he was just glad he could help. I was just glad to see him on screen, bring the hero.

I can barely tolerate Steffy, barely. I’d pick scenes of Sheila reading the phone book over Steffy doing anything, most days. But, I’ll be damned if I didn’t get a little misty-eyed at the Sinn reunion. Now, I’m worried that Deacon is going to try to help Sheila, when he needs to save himself. Also, I missed $Bill today. I know Friday was a fantastic show, but I was annoyed at Ridge for not even offering $Bill a handshake. I know he had tolerable words, generous, for him, but he’s just such a gigantor douche.

Holy cow, our show is firing on all cylinders these days. This is the best episode since Beth’s reveal, I think. Everyone was excellent, except the woefully misplaced Tridge; what a thirsty downer they are. I know that KB & TN bring it, but they’ve had the same conversation for weeks, I’m glad it’s resolved. How perfect was $Bill at the end? Perfect combo of smoking hot (obviously) & sweet/stunned/shocked/livid. Sheila should poke herself with that syringe, so she doesn’t see or feel what BilLi have in store for her. Totally shipping them.

Damn. Flirty, adorable Deacon, & compassionate, beautiful $Bill, in the same episode?? Well, that’s just a lovely pick-me-up on this rainy day. Plus, it’s a great episode, story wise. I’d love for them to keep up the momentum.

If ever my son’s psycho bio mom runs me off-the-road, into a body of water, oh please, oh please, oh please let me be saved (& hopefully nursed back to health) by $Bill Spencer. I’m ready for a new power couple, & Dr. Li Finnegan (I assume) & $Bill Spencer might just be it.

The biggest portion of ass Khloe ever lost was Tristan. 😉 He’s always been a cheater, & he always will be. He cheated with Khloe (or, likely overlapped her with baby mama #1), then cheated on Khloe more times than I can count. The only possible thing that might change him, might, is if True gets blindsided by a cheater, once she reaches adulthood. Then, he’ll see how awful it is to be cheated on, & how devastating the consequences are. That’d require him to genuinely love True, beyond being his 1st meal ticket, though, so it likely won’t happen. If they announce how happy they are when their son is born, & Khloe gushes about what an amazing father he is, I will vomit. Can’t believe he’s still never seen the most recent baby, who’s 7 months old now.

I’d like to suggest to Khloé, avoiding anything close to “Travis” or”Scott”. With Travis Barker, Scott Dissick, & Travis Scott, they’re too close & similar. I’d also like to suggest that she be finished procreating with that heinous excuse for a man.

This kid’s almost 6 months old, though. God help me, but I can’t help but wonder if there’s something on him that isn’t quite perfect, or, up to-KarJenner-standards, so they’re “fixing” it before going public. Specifically referring to why Kylie stickered his face on her Father’s Day post. I’ll be happy if I’m wrong.

So, my DVR didn’t pick up todays show, & I’ve been waiting for the Quinn/Donna confrontation. Anywhere I can watch it without downloading the CBS app?

Best response I’ve seen about all of this drama (via comments on TMZs Facebook post): “So are they doing it through IVF, or did Tristan just go and impregnate the surrogate himself?” 😆😆

I’m not hating Taylor/Deacon, & I slightly hate Taylor period. So, kudos, SK, you made me hate someone on this show less, not an easy feat.

Holy shit, apparently Khloe & Tristan are having kid #2, or as Community Peen calls it “meal ticket #2”. If this is true, no pun intended, poor, poor kid. https://www.tmz.com/2022/07/13/khloe-kardashian-having-baby-tristan-thompson-surrogate/?adid=social-fb&fbclid=IwAR2Yd4sHmTQ9bW58yAkP4tcYLAFdOQRPGTA2rWfTmVZbWgqS1rQrOQ86aQY

I honestly could see Taylor & Deacon. Of course, she’d only be doing it to get Ridge to run back to her, & it’d definitely work. I’d like to see Deacon in a legit love story. He’s a good actor, smoking hot, & he’s been alone long enough, show him some love.
